THIN 120mm 4-pin CPU fan?

manveruppd · 19 Oct 2011 at 14:16

Wanted to switch to one of those 25mm-thick fans for my TRUE120, just in case it got in the way of my RAM sticks. 4-pins so I can connect it to the CPU fan header on the motherboard. Recommendations please?

25mm is standard thickness do not sure why you'd call them thin, unless you are used to 38mm delta screamers or something.

What board and ram is it, i found the TRUE to be very good for ram clearance, (and im using ocz reapers) with standard 25mm depth 120mm fans.

Is it? All the fans I own are ~40mm!

TBH the RAM will probably fit fine, but I thought I should switch to a skinnier fan anyway, cause with the one I've got now if I need to remove the stick closest to the CPU I need to get the fan out of the way first. Plus all my current fans are 3-pin so I don't get the automatic speed adjustment, so someone just please recommend a quietish but relatively powerful slimline fan and I'll be happy!

Good airflow and 4 pin pwm.
